After a brief repair at Weize Pass, the caravan embarked on its journey again. From here, no more than a hundred miles north, the caravan entered the Hengshan Mountains. At this time, it was also the junction of the actual control area of Qin and the border area of Zhao.
The most chaotic area.
Here are the remnants of Qin's army, Lin Hu and Lou Fan Hu tribesmen who had to flee into the mountains and forests under Zhao's attack.
Here, there are even traces of the activities of the wolf tribe.
It is precisely because of the existence of these people that caravans who want to enter the northern border of Zhao State through here have to spend a lot of money to hire guards to ensure that they have bargaining power when encountering bandits, even if the negotiation breaks down.
The ability to give it a try.
In the end, she suffered the consequences of her age, so much so that she forgot her original intention and was captured by Purple Girl. Yuki-onna leaned in Purple Girl's arms, her eyes curiously wandering up the cliffs on both sides.
The scenery in winter is really not very good, it is the season when everything is dead, but it is also in this season that I have another thing, which is the natural sound of heaven and earth.
The snow girl listened intently to the chirping of birds and the roars of animals coming from the mountains and forests, with a look of leisure on her little face.
"You little guy is a bit like my Nongyu. They both like to listen to the sounds of nature and everything in the world." Zi Nu pinched Xue Nu's cheeks that felt so good, and said with a smile.
"Who is Nongyu?" Xuenu, who had already developed a lot of patience for Zinu, asked curiously as she let Zinu pinch her cheek.
"One of my sisters is about the same age as your brother." Zi Nu said, but her eyes were already on Yang Ming, who was carrying a bow and arrows.
"Yang Ming, after this mission is completed, are you interested in following me to South Korea? I will introduce Nongyu to you then." Purple light flashed in the purple girl's eyes, and she still had a bit of a girlish heart.
I don’t know what interesting things I have thought of anymore.
"No." Yang Ming shook his head and refused.
South Korea is the weakest country among the Seven Kingdoms. What he is doing there has no future at all. His goal from beginning to end is only one, and that is Qin.
Anyway, he only has one life to sell. Since he has to sell his life, he naturally has to sell it to the strongest one.
"Don't be so busy refusing." Zi Nu said half-seriously, but her eyes were already fixed on the mountain road ahead.
On the mountain road ahead, there were two more fences where there should have been no human traces, and the robbers had indeed appeared.
A big businessman from South Korea, protected by a heavily paid guard, had already stepped forward to negotiate with the bandits.
After some haggling, the fence was pushed open and the caravans passed by one after another.
In the next three days, the caravan encountered two groups of bandits one after another. Fortunately, no fights occurred. The thieves only wanted money, and they also understood the principle of sustainability. They knew that fishing from the lake was not suitable.
Do.
Just when the people in the caravan thought that they were about to successfully exit the Hengshan Business Road, an unexpected accident happened.
In the afternoon of the fourth day, a ray of sunshine fell in the valley, injecting some warmth into the cold weather, but the sudden appearance of the bandits made the caravan's hearts sink to the bottom.
Because this time it turned out to be barbarians. What was even more troublesome was that there were more than one group of barbarians, and there were hundreds of them.
"The situation is not right." The purple girl standing in the car looked solemnly at the businessman who was negotiating with the foreigners in front of her, and gradually felt a little uneasy in her heart.
"Those barbarians are from different tribes?" Yang Ming, who jumped on the carriage, looked at the scene ahead and saw something unusual.
"Although the Hu people are collectively called the Hu people, there are various tribes within them, and there are still big differences between the tribes. Things often happen to attack and kill each other. It is difficult for them to unite.
It's difficult, but the Hu people who appear now are obviously from several tribes, and they have united." Zi Nu analyzed, and her hand had already touched her waist.
"What is it that can actually make them put aside their mutual hatred and unite?" Zi Nu said, feeling increasingly uneasy.
The negotiations ahead were indeed not optimistic. The Korean businessman who held the largest share of the goods in the caravan had already stepped forward and was arguing with the foreigners under the protection of several guards.
"Protect your sister, this matter can't be solved." As Zi Nu spoke, she jumped onto the carriage in front. After dozens of leaps in succession, Zi Nu arrived at the center of the caravan.
Front row.
"Senior, don't go." Just when the big Korean businessman was about to walk into the barbarian team to negotiate with the leader of the other party, Zi Nu stopped him loudly.
When the barbarians saw that their plan to lure the leader of the other party was ruined, they simply stopped pretending. They drew their bows and arrows one by one. Before the big Korean businessman had time to react, countless arrows were fired at him and the guards around him.
Come.
Zi Nu couldn't care anymore at this time, her entire body turned into a purple afterimage, and she rushed forward. The silver light flashed in her hands, creating a vortex in the air and blocking arrows one after another.
But the few guards hired by Qi Shang with a lot of money were not so lucky. Although his martial arts was good, under the dense rain of arrows, although he blocked one arrow after another, there were still some arrows shot.
After being hit on their bodies, several people fell into a pool of blood in an instant.
Fortunately, Zi Nu's martial arts skills were strong enough. Zi Nu was seen dancing with a sword with one hand, and with the other hand, she grabbed the arm of the big Korean businessman and retreated backwards.
"What is going on? This is not the first time I have dealt with these barbarians. Everything went smoothly before. Why did they fall out this time?" The big Korean businessman who was dragged back to the convoy by Zi Nu said in horror.
Just now, he was just a little bit close to being shot into a hedgehog.
"I don't know, but in this situation, it's better to run away quickly." Zi Nu said.
"Escape? What to do with these goods?" the big Korean businessman asked.
"At this time, survival is the most important thing. As long as your life is still there, you can earn whatever money you have. If your life is gone, everything will stop." Zi Nu sighed.
It seemed that Zilanxuan's plan was going to be postponed again. Zinu sighed in her heart, the loss this time was a bit heavy, and it might take two years to make up for the loss.
The big Korean businessman was still hesitating, but Zinu could no longer care about him. Her previous reminder and rescuing him under the rain of arrows were already the most benevolent and righteous.
But the next moment, the big Korean businessman could not hesitate anymore, because barbarians had appeared one after another on the mountains on both sides, and beside them were huge rocks one after another.
"Let's go." The big Korean businessman no longer cared about his property and ordered sadly.
But now it was too late. The huge rocks were pushed down the mountain by the barbarians. Under the blessing of inertia, the huge rocks turned into the most terrifying killing weapons in the world.
There were endless screams for a while, both human and horse sounds.
Some people were smarter and hid at the bottom of the carriage immediately, hoping to escape, but were they really smart?
Zinu was the only one to move around among the boulders, using her lightness skills to the fullest. At this time, she knew very well that the Hu people were not just here for wealth this time, but also for killing people.
Only by escaping can there be a chance of survival.
